"Stop at a red light, go at a green light" is the simplest traffic rule, however, some drivers are lucky to think that "it doesn't matter if there is no car at the intersection" and "it's okay to run a red light in a hurry", but they don't know that the moment they run the red light, they put themselves and others in danger. A few days ago, the municipal public security traffic police department issued two traffic accidents, calling on electric bicycle drivers to strictly abide by traffic lights and keep in mind safety matters such as wearing helmets.
Case 1:
The electric car rider is fully responsible for the accident caused by running a red light
"It was so scary, I was driving straight from south to north, but I didn't expect an electric bicycle next to me to suddenly come out in my direction, in order to avoid the other party, I changed from going straight to a right turn, and I still crashed. Recalling the traffic accident that occurred one morning last month, the driver of the motor vehicle, Song, still has palpitations.
Here's the thing. At 9:38 a.m. on the same day, when the man Jin Moumou rode an electric bicycle along Jinyuan Road in Huangcheng Town, Baoying County from west to east to the intersection of Jinyuan Road and Dongyang North Road, he collided with a white small car driven by Song along Dongyang North Road from south to north, and the accident caused injuries to the party Jin Moumou and damage to two vehicles. After receiving the alarm, the accident handling police of the Traffic Police Brigade of the Baoying County Public Security Bureau came to the scene.
"There is obviously a traffic light at this intersection, how did you hit it?" "You come from different directions, which side is running a red light?" In the face of the police's questioning, the driver of the motor vehicle, Song, said frankly, "I didn't run the red light, and the traffic light was green when I passed through the intersection." In order to find out the cause of the accident, the police rushed to the hospital and questioned the other party to the accident, the driver of the electric bicycle, Jin Moumou.
Jin Moumou didn't dare to look directly at the police, "It seems to be a yellow light, I remember when I rode over." The police then checked the intersection surveillance, which restored the truth. It turns out that Jin Moumou concealed the truth. After investigation, the party Jin Moumou did not comply with the traffic lights, and he drove an electric bicycle through the road through the red light, and Jin's behavior violated the "Road Traffic Safety Law" related to "vehicles and pedestrians should pass according to traffic lights; when there is a traffic police on-site command, they should pass according to the command of the traffic police; on the road without traffic signals, they should pass under the principle of ensuring safety and smoothness." Jin's behavior violated the "Road Traffic Safety Law" on "driving a non-motor vehicle on the road shall comply with the relevant traffic safety regulations." Non-motorized vehicles shall drive in non-motorized lanes, and on roads without non-motorized lanes, they shall drive on the right side of the roadway".
The public security traffic police department finally determined that the party Jin Moumou was fully responsible for the accident. The police said that Jin Moumou rode an electric bicycle and ran a red light and caused a big accident, not only injured himself, but also took full responsibility for the accident. "This self-guided riding habit leads to accidents, and running a red light increases the probability of a traffic accident. ”
Case 2:
Riding an electric car to run a red light and not wearing a helmet suffers a big loss
Some time ago, the Traffic Police Brigade of the Baoying County Public Security Bureau received a report that a traffic accident occurred at the intersection of United Road and Dongyang North Road in Huangcheng Town, Baoying County. After receiving the police, the police quickly investigated the scene, because the driver of the electric bicycle did not wear a safety helmet, the impact of the car was greater in the event of a collision, and the electric bicycle was knocked over on the spot, resulting in the injury of the driver of the electric bicycle. The police at the scene immediately contacted 120 and sent the injured e-bike driver to the hospital for treatment. After investigation, the driver of the electric bicycle had violated the traffic light violation.
It is understood that Zhang Moumou was riding an electric bicycle without wearing a safety helmet, and when he drove east to west along Union Road to the intersection of Dongyang North Road and Union Road, he collided with a small car driven by Zhu along Dongyang North Road from north to south, and the accident caused injury to the party Zhang Moumou and damage to the vehicles of both parties.
In view of the fact that the driver of the electric bicycle did not wear a safety helmet in accordance with safety regulations, and there was an illegal act of running a red light when passing through the intersection, the public security traffic police department determined that the behavior of the party Zhang Moumou violated the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" that "vehicles and pedestrians should pass according to traffic lights; when there is a traffic police on-site command, they should pass according to the command of the traffic police; and on roads without traffic signals, they should pass under the principle of ensuring safety and smoothness." And Zhang's behavior also violated the "Jiangsu Province Electric Bicycle Management Regulations" on "driving and riding electric bicycles should wear safety helmets in accordance with the regulations". The conduct of the party Zhu violated the provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" that "motor vehicle drivers shall abide by the provisions of road traffic safety laws and regulations, and drive safely and civilly in accordance with the operation specifications".
In the end, the public security traffic police department determined that the party Zhang Moumou was primarily responsible, and the party Zhu was secondarily responsible.
Remind:
When it comes to electric vehicles, it's important to pay attention to these safety tips
The reporter learned from the traffic police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau that not driving according to the lane, driving in the wrong direction, running red lights, and not wearing safety helmets in accordance with the regulations are common traffic violations when driving electric bicycles. The police pointed out that the occurrence of the above two traffic accidents has a lot to do with the electric bicycle running a red light. Electric bicycles violate traffic laws and regulations, and in the event of an accident, e-bike riders often face more serious harmful consequences. "Obeying the law and riding in a civilized manner is the safe travel criterion for every electric bicycle rider, and it is also the embodiment of being responsible for oneself and the lives of others. ”
The relevant person in charge of the traffic police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau said that when riding an electric bicycle through the intersection, "I would rather wait for three minutes than grab a second", and if you run a red light quickly for a while, you may have an accident in the next second. Not only are the drivers of the e-bikes injured, but they also have to bear the corresponding responsibility for the accident for their own illegal behavior.
In addition, in some traffic accidents involving electric bicycles, some electric bicycle drivers do not wear safety helmets, or replace safety helmets with safety helmets, sunscreen hats, etc., but they do not know that wearing safety helmets is a necessary protective measure for safe riding, and riders need to wear safety helmets correctly to protect their heads, and the degree of injury can be reduced in the event of an accident. "For e-bike or motorcycle drivers, helmets are the equivalent of seat belts worn by sedan drivers, and are the last line of defense for cyclists in case of danger. The person in charge said.
In recent years, in order to further strengthen the traffic safety management of electric bicycles, standardize the driving order of electric bicycles, and prevent traffic accidents related to electric bicycles, the Yangzhou traffic police have continued to carry out electric bicycle traffic violation rectification actions in the city, comprehensively improve the safety awareness and law-abiding awareness of electric bicycle drivers, and effectively reduce the occurrence of electric bicycle road traffic accidents. In order to ensure the safety of citizens, Yangzhou traffic police will strengthen the rectification of illegal behaviors such as running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, and not wearing safety helmets. At the same time, a variety of measures will be taken to strengthen the management of electric bicycles and create a safer and more convenient travel environment for citizens.
The Municipal Public Security Traffic Police Department reminds:
When passing through an intersection with a traffic light, the driver of an electric bicycle must follow the indicator light and do not run the red light; when passing through the intersection without a traffic light, he must slow down, pay attention to observation, and confirm that it is safe before passing. When driving, take the non-motorized lane, and on the road without traffic markings, drive in the right direction on the right side of the road, and do not drive in the opposite direction. When driving an e-bike, a safety helmet must be worn. The function of the helmet is to make the head of the driver and passenger not injured or less injured in the event of a traffic accident. Wearing a safety helmet is equivalent to giving your life an extra layer of safety insurance.
